SEGMENT ONE
As the fortieth episode of Dynamite hits the air, the camera is stationed outside of the arena, as a lavish red carpet leads to a grand wedding arch adorned with skulls, roses, and gothic chandeliers. Macho Man Randy Savage stands next to the “Chief of Vibes” Matt Riddle, who stands in front of a makeshift check-in station, barefoot as always, wearing a tie-dye tuxedo jacket and board shorts. Savage is wearing a sequined jacket with devil horns, as he taps a clipboard impatiently.
Matt Riddle: [sniffing the air] Bro, can you feel it, Macho? Love is literally in the air! [taking another sniff] And maybe nachos? Yeah, that’s definitely nachos.
Randy Savage: [nodding slowly] Oh yeah, love and nachos in the air, but ya know what else is in the air, Riddle? Responsibility! Ya dig? We gotta make sure the vibes are righteous!
As the two are talking, the camera sees a man entering the frame. The man is dressed in a yellow zoot suit, and is holding a bible. The camera pans to his face, which is covered in a green mask. Within seconds, it becomes obvious that it’s The Mask!
The Mask: Sssssmokin’! Alright, boys, outta my way! I’m here to make this wedding holy and groovy, baby!
Matt Riddle: [eyeing him up and down] Whoa, bro. Chill. Who are you here for? The bride or the groom?
The Mask: [offended] What? I’ve been asked here to officiate!
Randy Savage: Officiate? Ooooh yeah, I did hear Midget Hogan mention somethin’ about this guy.
Matt Riddle: [shaking his head] Nah, dude. I’ve never seen you and Midget Hogan in the same room together, sooooo… bad vibes. Sorry, no entry.
The Mask: [indignant] You can’t do this to me! I’m the life of the party! This wedding can’t go on without me!
Matt Riddle: [dismissive] Not this party, bro! Later!
The Mask groans dramatically, spins on his heel, and moonwalks away.
Randy Savage: Are you sure about this, Riddle? This could cause some, uh, matrimonial chaos!
Matt Riddle: [shrugging] We gotta trust vibes, man.
Next up, a grizzled man in a tweed jacket—Mr. Moody, the former history teacher turned Vietnam War Veteran turned professional wrestler—hobbles to the podium, his dog tags clinking as he walks.
Mr. Moody: Name’s Moody. I’m on the list.
Randy Savage: [checking the list] Oh yes, Moody, right here. You’re good—
Matt Riddle: [interrupting] No way, bro. This dude’s aura screams “detention vibes.” He’s out.
Mr. Moody: [glaring] You little punk, I survived the Tet Offensive! You think you’re tough?
Matt Riddle: [confused] I’m not sure what yoga has to do with anything, but I’m sorry, you don’t match the vibes.
Mr. Moody grumbles a string of expletives, slams his cane on the ground, and storms off.
Randy Savage: [throwing his hands up] What was that about? He was on the list!
Matt Riddle: Bro, if you wanna let bad vibes into the Wedding of the Century, be my guest! I’m just trying to do my job!
Savage sighs as the towering giant Phobe and wrestling legend the Terminator approach, their larger than life personas accentuated by their wedding attire.
Randy Savage: [impressed] Now, these are some heavy hitters, brother! Phobe, Terminator, you’re both on the list.
Matt Riddle: [immediately shaking his head] Nuh-uh, no way. Sorry dudes, bad vibes!
Phobe: What? I RSPV’d and everything!
Matt Riddle: [looking at Terminator] I can’t risk you floating through the air singing a David Bowie song tonight, I’m sorry. The vibes have spoken.
Phobe cracks his knuckles, and Terminator’s eye twitches. Before things escalate, the bridesmaids Nyla Rose and Piper Niven burst onto the scene.
Nyla Rose: [furious] Riddle! What the hell are you doing?
Piper Niven: [pointing a finger] Lady Love just saw you turn away the officiant! She’s threatening to end your vibe permanently!
Randy Savage: [defensive] I tried to tell him!
Matt Riddle: [calmly] Are you ladies gonna let me do my job, or—
Nyla Rose: [cutting him off] Idiot!
The two bridesmaids push past Riddle and Savage, sprinting to retrieve the rejected guests.
Matt Riddle: [to Savage, shrugging] Some people just don’t respect the process.
Randy Savage: [rolling his eyes] You’re lucky I’m contractually obligated to tolerate you, ya dig?
The camera pans to the chaos as Nyla and Piper wrangle the officiant, Phobe, Terminator, and Moody, dragging them back to the venue. The scene fades to black as Riddle puts his feet up on the check-in desk, blissfully unaware of the havoc he’s caused.
As the cold open fades, the intro video flickers to life, showing fire consuming a darkened stage, with silhouettes of wrestlers clashing, a wedding ring splatted with broken roses, and a blood-red moon hanging ominously over the arena. The music swells as the narrator’s voice cuts through the chaos.
Narrator: In a world where loyalty is fleeting and betrayal is currency, one night stands as the ultimate proving ground. Rivalries will ignite, friendships will crumble, and destinies will be forged in fire.
The screen shifts to video footage from the recent clashes between Kenny Omega, Hangman Adam Page, and Bryan Danielson.
Narrator: Tonight, three men, bound by history, collide in a battle for supremacy. Hangman Adam Page, the renegade cowboy who fears no furry. Kenny Omega, the architect of greatness, ready to claim his first world championship. Bryan Danielson, the dragon who will stop at nothing to stand at the pinnacle once again. Their prize? The ultimate choice—the final entry into Elite Warfare, or the first one-on-one shot at the gold!
The scene cuts to Lady Love and Midget Hogan, highlighting their rocky road from friends to lovers, and everything in between.
Narrator: Tonight, a wedding of grandeur sets to break the mould of precedence. Can love survive the chaos, or will pride destroy what was meant to be eternal?
Flames erupt across the screen as Sami Zayn and Danhausen’s faces appear side by side.
Narrator: Teetering on the edge of madness, the World Heavyweight Champion Sami Zayn has been consumed by paranoia and curses. Opposite him, Danhausen, the enigmatic agent of chaos who promises retribution and destruction. One will emerge victorious, but at what cost?
The screen darkens, and faint whispers fill the air. The music builds to a crescendo as the fiery logo explodes onto the screen.
Narrator: Tonight, the lines between good and evil blur, and every soul will be tested. The question is… will good prevail? Or will you have Sympathy for the Devil?
The pyro explodes and Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly welcome us to Atlanta, where a record-setting crowd has filled the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the most anticipated event of the fall. They run down the card, including the events highlighted in the opening video package, as well as the Dumpster Match between the Acclaimed and A-Town Down Under, two former tag champions looking to rebound after losing the belts. But first, we’re kicking things off with the Knockouts Championship, as Miss Athena Star looks to take on her biggest challenger to date, Liv Morgan, who has shifted the landscape since arriving in AEW last summer!
Match #1 | Knockouts Championship
Miss Athena Star (C) vs. Liv Morgan
The audience erupts into a chorus of boos as Liv Morgan’s music hits, and the challenger makes her way to the ring, skipping arrogantly and blowing kisses to the crowd as they jeer her. The audience comes to life as they erupt for the sounds of MIA’s Paper Planes, and the champion makes her way down the aisle looking more determined than ever.
Kevin Kelly: Miss Athena Star promised at the onset of 2024 that this year would be her magnum opus. She’s defined the Knockouts Division since its inception, and has cemented her legacy as the best of all time. But tonight, Liv Morgan, the young and arrogant challenger, just may be her biggest test yet.
Arn Anderson: Liv Morgan isn’t afraid to play dirty if it means getting what she wants. She’s causes so much chaos since her arrival in AEW, driving a wedge in the marriage of Sami Zayn and Megan Mouse-Zayn. For Morgan, everything she’s done in AEW has been leading to this moment.
As the bell sounds, the two come face to face in the squared circle for the first time ever. Morgan offers her hand for a test of strength, but is stunned when Athena Star slaps her hard across the face, much to the pleasure of the crowd. As Morgan grips her cheek, Star grounds her with a waist takedown into a side headlock, demonstrating a technical prowess that’s defined her career. Morgan scrambles to her feet, countering with a quick arm drag before firing off a step-up enzuigiri that stuns the champion! Liv follows it up with double knees to Athena’s back, sending her face-first into the turnbuckle.
Kevin Kelly: Liv Morgan is relentless. In fact, she reminds me of a young Athena Star—ruthless, calculated, and willing to do whatever it takes to win!
Liv stays on the attack as the two spill to the outside. Morgan grabs a fist full of hair, and slams Star’s head into the commentary table. She rolls Athena back into the ring as she ascends to the top rope, launching herself for a double knee strike. Athena Rolls out of the way at the last second, and catches Morgan with a spinning heel kick. She follows up with a snap suplex that nets her a two-count.
Arn Anderson: That’s why Athena Star is the Knockouts Champion, Kevin. Her ability to turn the tide is second to none. Morgan’s gonna have to dig deeper if she wants to leave Atlanta with the gold.
Athena follows up, wrenching Morgan’s arm with cross-armbreaker. Morgan writhes in pain, but manages to roll through into a Rings of Saturn submission. Star grimaces, clawing her way to the ropes, forcing the break.
As Star gets back to her feet, Morgan attacks the knee, dropping her with the chop block. She targets the knee with a series of stomps, before locking on a figure-four. Athena again manages to get the ropes and force the break, but it’s clear that some damage has been down. She limps to meet Morgan in the center of the ring, where the two women trade punches as the crowd roars. As Athena seems to best her in the exchange, Morgan switches gears and drops her with a jawbreaker, followed by a dropkick to the knee.
Kevin Kelly: Liv is smartly targeting Athena’s legs. If she can’t walk, she can’t get to the ropes for that 4:20 splash.
Morgan whips Star into the corner, and goes for the springboard elbow, a move that Athena Star herself has used numerous times throughout her career. Athena telegraphs it, however, and uses the ropes to jump up and drill a charging Morgan with a big boot before she hits her with a Sister Abigail-like maneuver that sends Morgan face first into the second turnbuckle.
Star positions herself behind Morgan, and sends her flying to the center of the ring with a German suplex. She ascends to the top rope, shaking off the pain in her knee from Morgan’s earlier attacks. As Star tries to shake out her leg, Morgan kips up and charges the turnbuckle, jumping and hitting a belly to belly that sends both women crashing to the mat!
Both women fight back to their feet and again exchange right hands, before Star counters with a neckbreaker. She drapes Morgan over the second rope and goes for the draping leg, but Morgan moves at the last second and Star slips between the top and second ropes, landing hard on the outside.
Morgan measures her, and charges through the second rope, connecting at full speed with a suicide dive. She again grabs a fistful of hair and begins slamming Star’s head onto the mat outside the ring repeatedly, as Knockouts Official Kenzie admonishes her. She scoops Star up and hits her with a whip, sending her knee first into the steps!
Arn Anderson: Have you ever seen such a ruthless display from Liv Morgan? She’s attempting to end not only the title reign of Athena Star, but her career as well!
Finally, Kenzie gets them back into the ring, and Morgan goes for the Oblivion. Star manages to counter into a DDT, before lifting Morgan up for a powerbomb. It connects, but she doesn’t let go. In a homage to her former rival Amazon, Athena Star goes for the triple powerbomb. However, her knee buckles after the second one, and she awkwardly drops Morgan on the third, clutching the knee. Morgan grabs her into a roll-up as the referee counts, her hand narrowly missing the third strike of the mat!
Kevin Kelly: What is it going to take from Liv Morgan to end the championship reign of Miss Athena Star?
Morgan lifts Star up by the hair and positions her for a suplex, but Star manages to reverse it into a northern lights for a two count of her own. She goes for a spinning wheel kick, but Morgan dodges it with the matrix evasion, again going for a roll up. Star kicks out once more, and Morgan immediately follows with a running hurricanrana. Star lands on her feet, her knee buckling a bit before she launches herself at Morgan, hitting a hurricanrana of her own. Star lifts her up for another suplex, but this time she launches Liv forward into a sitout position, flattening Morgan face-first on the mat.
The audience wills Star on as she signals for the 4:20 Splash. She climbs to the top rope as Anderson expression reservation, citing her injured knee. She goes for it anyways, and as she’s mid-air, Morgan’s ring awareness is on full display as she grabs Kenzie by the shirt, pulling her into Star’s orbit! Kenzie is down as Star accidentally hits her with the 4:20 Splash!
Morgan sizes her up and again goes for the Oblivion, but Star reverses it into a sitout powerbomb, the force of which shakes the ring. Both women are down, as is the referee! Suddenly, the audience turns towards the entrance ramp, as “This Year’s Girl” hits and Megan Mouse-Zayn rushes down the aisle!
Kevin Kelly: What the hell is Megan Mouse-Zayn doing out here?
Arn Anderson: She’s looking for revenge, what the hell do you think she’s doing?
As she rushes towards the ring, she grabs the Knockouts Championship off of the timekeeper’s table, and rolls into the ring. She shouts obsenities at Morgan, who slowly gets to her feet.
Megan swings the championship, aiming for Liv, but Liv ducks—and Megan accidentally drills Athena in the face! Stunned, Megan looks to Athena on the mat, as Morgan charges her from behind, sending her toppling out of the ring and onto the mat.
Morgan revives Kenzie, as she looks to Megan on the floor. She blows Megan a kiss before lifting Star up, drilling her to the mat with the Oblivion! Megan has no choice but watch in horror as Morgan covers, and Kenzie counts… 1… 2… 3!!!
Jane Mouse: Here is your winner… and NEW Knockouts Champion… Liv Morgan!
Megan stands at ringside, her hands over her mouth in shock as Liv clutches the championship, smirking at Megan before pointing mockingly at her.
Arn Anderson: Athena deserved better than this, Kevin. Liv may have won the title, but this mess is far from over.
Liv backs up the ramp, holding the title high, while Megan stares at Athena, who lies motionless in the ring. Liv mouths, “Thank you, darling,” as the camera fades on Megan’s horrified expression.
Winner: Liv Morgan
Match Time: 18:03
SEGMENT TWO
As we come back from commercial break, a short 15-second vignette airs teasing the return of All Elite Wrestling, as Dynamite presents: Fowl Play, live on Thanksgiving Day!
We cut backstage, where the sound of breaking glass is heard and Megan Mouse-Zayn is in a full rage, throwing TV monitors off a production desk and knocking over equipment. Crew members scatter as she grabs a nearby chair and hurls it against the wall. Breathing heavily, she flips a table, sending papers flying everywhere.
Megan Mouse-Zayn: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!?
As Megan continues to scream, we see Sami Zayn, the AEW World Heavyweight Champion and BWM Inc. Chairman, rush in, his hands raised in a calming gesture.
Sami Zayn: Whoa! Whoa! Megan, stop! Calm down! You’re going to bring this whole place down!
Megan glares at him, her chest heaving as she points her finger at him.
Megan Mouse-Zayn: Don’t you dare tell me to calm down, Sami! That… that manipulative, scheming little bitch Liv Morgan just walked out with the Knockouts Championship! And it’s because of me!
Sami Zayn: [softly] I know, honey. I know. But you need to breathe. Look, I get it. I’ve been there. You feel like everything is slipping through your fingers, and nothing is going your way. But tonight, we have bigger fish to fry.
Megan takes a step back, still visibly fuming, but listening. Sami places his hands on her shoulders, trying to steady her.
Sami Zayn: Tonight’s the night we end this curse. Danhausen has been hanging over our heads for months. I’m tired of looking over my shoulder, of the mind games, the candles, the freaky little dolls. It ends tonight.
Megan Mouse-Zayn: [snapping back] You think I don’t know that? We’ve tried everything—every trap, every trick—and none of it worked! If you want this curse gone, Sami, you’re going to have to do it the hard way. No tricks, no shortcuts. You’re going to have to beat Danhausen with your bare hands!
Sami nods as Megan steps closer, lowering her voice but keeping the intensity.
Megan Mouse-Zayn: And you know what? I’m thinking I’ll have to do the same to Liv. She has embarrassed me time after time, but at Elite Warfare, I’m going to end her. One. On. One.
Sami’s about to respond when in walks Gunther, flanked by Ludwig Kaiser. Gunther’s usual stoic demeanor is gone, replaced by simmering anger.
Gunther: Sami Zayn. I helped you survive Brock Lesnar. I protected your title reign. Now, I demand the same from you. Lesnar attacked me and Ludwig on Dynamite, and I will not let it go unanswered!
Sami looks at Gunther, exasperated, and throws his arms in the air.
Sami Zayn: Gunther, I appreciate everything you’ve done, but I don’t have time for this right now! I’m dealing with Megan losing her mind, a curse from a demon clown, and trying to hold this company together. If you want Brock Lesnar, fine! You can have him, with the Television Championship on the line! When AEW returns after the break, live at Dynamite 41: Fowl Play on Thanksgiving Day, he’s all yours!
Gunther glares at Sami, unimpressed with his dismissive tone. Ludwig steps forward, but Gunther holds him back with a raised hand.
Gunther: [coldly] I will hold you to that, Zayn. Do not forget who made your survival possible.
Gunther and Ludwig storm out, leaving Sami shaking his head. He turns back to Megan, who’s already picking up another chair.
Sami Zayn: Megan, put that down!
Megan Mouse-Zayn: [gritting her teeth] I’ll put it down… when I smash it over Liv’s head!
The camera fades as Sami buries his face in his hands, muttering something unintelligible.
Match #2 | Dumpster Match
A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) vs. The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)
Back at ringside, the stage is adorned with several dumpsters as Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly discuss the upcoming bout. Anderson says that this all started this past summer at Aftershock, when Theory and Waller captured the tag titles after sending Caster and Bowens plummeting off the stage in a dumpster. Since then, A-Town Down Under were unseated as champions when the Acclaimed returned from injury, doing the same to Waller and Theory. As the introductions are made, Kelly explains that tornado tag rules apply, and all four men are able to compete at the same time until one team has been put inside the dumpster.
As A-Town Down Under make their way down the ramp, they’re suddenly ambushed by Caster and Bowens, who don’t even wait for their entrance music to begin the brawl. Caster and Bowens come out swinging, with Bowens wielding a steel chair and Caster brandishing a kendo stick.
Kevin Kelly: The Acclaimed are no strangers to chaos, and they seem to thrive in brawls like this one. They’re in a serious mood tonight, and they’re looking to unseat A-Town Down Under. They promised Cobra Kai that after they take care of Theory and Waller, they’re planning to come back for their championship.
Arn Anderson: If you remember at Aftershock, A-Town Down Under won the belt by pinning FTR in the triple threat, so the Acclaimed never actually were pinned for the belts!
Kevin Kelly: Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean too much, because the fact remains that they lost the gold. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve been one of the highlights of the tag division since arriving in AEW last spring, but Theory and Waller are young, hungry, and downright dangerous when you put weapons in their hands!
The four men reach the ring, and continue to brawl around the ringside area. A dumpster is placed near the commentary table, and Caster drives Theory into the side of the dumpster with a running kendo stick strike, but Waller blindsides him with a trash can lid to the head. Meanwhile, Bowens and Theory brawl near the steel barricade. Theory whips Bowens into the railing before delivering a vicious back body drop that sends him into the dumpster.
Kevin Kelly: Bowens just took a rough landing into the dumpster! The lid’s still open, though—it’s not over yet!
Waller takes advantage of the chaos, grabbing Caster and slamming his head against the dumpster repeatedly. Waller and Theory then lift Caster, whipping him into the dumpster alongside Bowens. The crowd boos as A-Town Down Under taunt and slam the dumpster lids against the backs of their opponents’ heads.
Arn Anderson: These two are getting nasty, and I love it! If you want to make a statement, this is how you do it.
Kevin Kelly: Grayson Waller promised Austin Theory that he’d help him climb out of obscurity and back into relevance, and since the two joined forces, Theory was able to capture his first championship since leaving the PWI as Extreme Champion.
The Acclaimed fight back from inside the dumpster. Bowens explodes out with a cookie sheet, clocking Theory in the face, while Caster catches Waller with a choke hold. Waller struggles, but Caster refuses to let go, buying Bowens time to retrieve a ladder from under the ring.
Kevin Kelly: A ladder in a dumpster match? Now I’ve seen it all!
Bowens slides the ladder into the ring, setting it up while Caster continues brawling with Waller at ringside. Bowens and Theory climb the ladder simultaneously, exchanging punches at the top. Suddenly, Waller shoves the ladder, sending Bowens and Theory crashing into the dumpster below!
Arn Anderson: Good Lord! Bowens and Theory just went flying into that dumpster! This is like a car crash, Kevin, I can’t look away!
Kevin Kelly: These two teams are leaving it all out here tonight at Sympathy for the Devil!
Arn Anderson: You have to bet that Cobra Kai is watching this along with the rest of us.
Kevin Kelly: Not to take anything away from these teams, but if I’m Cobra Kai I’m worrying more about the Street Sharks, who I’ve learned will challenge for the tag titles at Elite Warfare!
Waller hops into the dumpster to pull Theory out as Caster grabs a trash can and slams it over Waller’s head. The fight spills up the ramp as Caster and Bowens regroup. The Acclaimed double-team Waller, delivering synchronized neckbreakers on the steel stage. Theory tries to save his partner but eats a brutal chair shot from Bowens.
The brawl transitions backstage, where Theory and Waller take control again, ambushing the Acclaimed with metal pipes. They drag Bowens toward a forklift, but Caster retaliates, smashing Theory in the back with a fire extinguisher. Bowens plants Waller with a DDT on the concrete floor.
Kevin Kelly: This is getting out of hand! Someone’s going to get seriously hurt!
We see Bowens hop into the forklift, and the camera follows him as he drives it through the curtain and back to the stage. Behind him, Theory, Caster, and Waller follow, with A-Town Down Under double teaming Caster.
Bowens parks the forklift on the stage, and hops down to help his partner. Together, they regroup and spike Theory and Waller’s heads onto the stage with synchronized DDTs. Bowens climbs back into the forklift’s controls, while Caster lifts both Theory and Waller onto the forklift’s pallet. Bowens raises the pallet high into the air before driving it toward a nearby dumpster. Caster climbs up and hits a Mic Drop elbow onto Theory, ensuring he stays down. Bowens dumps both men into the dumpster and slams the lids shut!
As the crowd erupts and the bell sounds, Caster shouts to Bowens to finish them. Commentary expresses confusion before Bowens uses the fork lift to pick up the dumpster, driving it to the edge of the stage.
Arn Anderson: Oh no, what’s the Acclaimed doing? If they do this, the careers of A-Town Down Under could come to an abrupt end!
Security rushes to stop them, but Caster fights them off as Bowens uses the controls to lift the dumpster as high as it goes, dropping the dumpster from the stage! Waller and Theory inside the dumpster topple nearly 20 feet to the concrete below the stage, as the crowd chants holy shit and Anderson and Kelly call for EMTs as we transition to commercial break!
Winners: The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens)
Match Time: 13:04
SEGMENT THREE
In a lavish dressing room decked in satin, sequins, and an inexplicably enormous champagne fountain, Lady Love is standing in front of a full-length mirror as Piper Niven and Nyla Rose slowly zip up her glittering wedding gown. As they zip the gown, they take a seat on plush stools, reaching for their mimosas.
Piper Niven: Alright, spill it, Lady Love. Where the hell is your Maid of Honor? We’re about to walk down that aisle, and she’s fashionably late.
Lady Love: [adjusting her wedding veil with a dramatic flair, her voice booming] She’s coming. She’s always a little late. Fashionably, mind you, not, you know, your type of late.
She looks to Nyla rose, who lets out a mock gasp.
Nyla Rose: Oh? And what is my type of late?
Lady Love: [smirking] You know, like someone who shows up holding a 7-Eleven hot dog and asks if we validate parking.
Piper Niven: [laughing] That does sound like Nyla. But seriously, who is it? Give us a hint!
Lady Love: Nope, you’ll have to wait! Not even Midgey knows.
Nyla Rose: [whispering conspiratorially] Is it wrestling’s original first lady herself? Rudolph Ventura? That’d be pretty iconic!
Piper Niven: That’d be pretty fitting, after all, rumor is she transitioned back ini the day. I think her deadname was Randy.
Lady Love: [laughing] That’d have been a power move, Rudolph Ventura standing at my side at the altar! But unfortunately, I’ve never met her.
Piper Niven: [pouting] Missed opportunity, if ya ask me. Imagine her prancing down the aisle on all four legs, shouting life lessons at Midget Hogan.
Lady Love: [imitating Rudolph’s voice] Never trust a man with a handlebar mustache, darling. It never ends well!
Nyla Rose: [imitating Rudolph’s voice] And always hide your bank statements, he’s your husband, not your accountant!
All three burst into laughter.
Lady Love: Alright, enough, you’re going to make me cry, and the last thing I need is to ruin my make up right before I walk down the aisle!
The scene ends as the girls continue to banter, putting the final touches on their hair and makeup.
Match # 3 | Triple Threat: Winner gets their choice between the 60th spot in the Elite Warfare Match or the first one-on-one World Championship opportunity after Elite Warfare
‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega vs. ‘Hangman’ Adam Page
As the introductions are made, Anderson and Kelly talk about the road to this matchup, which began when AJ Styles was betrayed by Bryan Danielson at the beginning of the year. Anderson says Danielson’s opportunity to take the World Heavyweight Championship from Styles put him on the outs with the friend group, and Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega’s tag team later fell apart when Hangman lost his confidence in himself after they lost the titles. Since then, all three of these future world champions have been on a collision course, and it ends here tonight at Sympathy for the Devil. They talk about what’s at stake, including Page and Omega’s first potential shot at the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, and Danielson’s potential rematch after losing the title to MJF earlier this year.
As the bell sounds, the crowd erupts as all three men circle one another, with Danielson making the first move. He shoots in with a takedown attempt on Omega, but Hangman intercepts him with a stiff forearm to the head. Omega capitalizes, hitting a snap dragon suplex on Page. Danielson is back up quickly, however, hitting the running knee to Omega’s chest!
Kevin Kelly: An explosive start to this high stakes contest, and we wouldn’t expect anything less. Three of the best wrestlers in the world, all of which are fighting and clawing for their chance to make it to the top of the industry!
The match spills to the outside as Danielson drags Page out of the ring, throwing him into the barricade. Omega climbs to the top rope and launches himself with a moonsault, taking out both opponents at once. The crowd roars in approval as Omega gets to his feet, hyping them up.
Arn Anderson: How good is Kenny Omega? For my money, I think this man could be champion, he just needs to finally put aside his affinity for Hangman Page, because it’s clear Page has never appreciated the affection!
Back in the ring, Omega hits a springboard forearm on Danielson for a near fall. Hangman rolls back in and interrupts with a discus elbow, sending Omega stumbling into the corner. Page turns his attention to Danielson, hitting a DDT on the mat before going for a cover—only for Danielson to kick out at two.
Omega recovers and charges at both men, executing a stunning neckbreaker/DDT combo that leaves the crowd buzzing. He then hits a running standing shooting star press on Hangman’s ribs for another two-count.
Kevin Kelly: This is a war of attrition, with each man trying to outdo the other!
Hangman counters Omega’s rolling attack with a thunderous forearm, dropping him in his tracks. Danielson takes advantage, springboarding off the ropes with a kick that knocks both Omega and Page to the mat. The fight spills to the apron, where Danielson battles Hangman near a table set up at ringside. Hangman counters Danielson’s suplex attempt and delivers a brutal Death Valley Driver onto the apron.
Arn Anderson: Good grief, Hangman Page is showing no mercy tonight!
Kevin Kelly: It’s no secret that Danielson’s neck is a weakness, and Hangman capitalized on it by dropping him head first on the hardest part of the ring!
Omega climbs the top turnbuckle and leaps, landing a double stomp to Danielson’s chest as Hangman moves out of the way at the last second. Back in the ring, Omega hits a Spanish Fly on Hangman for another near fall. Danielson catches Omega off-guard, rolling him into a hurricanrana pin for a close two count. The action becomes even more frenetic as Omega counters a running knee from Danielson into a powerbomb, followed by a V-Trigger that leaves the crowd gasping.
Omega climbs to the top rope for a 450 splash, but Hangman intercepts him with a springboard lariat, sending him crashing to the mat. Hangman lifts Danielson and plants him with a Blue Thunder Bomb for another near fall. The crowd is on their feet, cheering as the three men continue to push each other to the limit.
Danielson and Omega share a glance and nod, briefly aligning to take down Hangman. They pepper him with stiff strikes, but Hangman fights back with a double forearm smash. He charges at them, but Danielson counters with a leaping enziguri, and Omega follows up with a snap dragon suplex.
Danielson sets Omega up for a move, but Omega counters with a spinning kick. He goes for a V-Trigger, but Danielson ducks and locks in the LeBell Lock. Hangman breaks it up with a top-rope moonsault that lands perfectly on both men.
Arn Anderson: This is absolute carnage! Who is going to walk out of Sympathy for the Devil as the victor?
The three men brawl on the apron near the table set up earlier. Danielson delivers a series of stiff kicks to Omega, but Hangman catches him with a Tombstone Piledriver that sends both men crashing through the table below. The crowd erupts into chants of “This is awesome!”
Hangman rolls back into the ring, but Omega meets him with a V-Trigger. Hangman pops up at one, fueled by adrenaline, and hits a Buckshot Lariat. Before he can capitalize, Danielson slides into the ring and catches Hangman with the running knee. He covers, but Omega breaks it up at the last moment!
Omega sets up Danielson for a One-Winged Angel, but Danielson counters mid-move into a triangle choke. Hangman re-enters the fray, hitting a double powerbomb to break the hold and lay out both opponents. He lines up Danielson for another Buckshot Lariat, but Omega intercepts with a picture-perfect V-Trigger. Danielson takes advantage of the distraction, hitting Omega with a Busaiku Knee!
Kevin Kelly: This could be it, Danielson’s got an opening!
Instead of immediately covering, however, Danielson climbs to the top rope and leaps with a diving headbutt onto Hangman, but Omega recovers, delivering a snap dragon suplex to Danielson. As Omega stands tall, Danielson nails him with a rolling elbow. Hangman, out of nowhere, charges with a Buckshot Lariat, hitting both men simultaneously. He collapses on top of Omega as the referee counts three!
Arn Anderson: Hangman has done it! Adam Page now has a choice to make, he’ll either be the 60th man in the Elite Warfare match, or he’ll challenge for the first one-on-one title match after Elite Warfare!
Winner: Hangman Adam Page
Match Time: 22:20
As Hangman Adam Page celebrates, soaking in the crowd’s mixed reaction, Bryan Danielson looks on with a frustrated expression. Shaking his head, he rolls out of the ring and makes his way up the ramp, visibly upset about falling short. Meanwhile, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly marvel at the war they’ve just witnessed, both men applauding the incredible effort from all three competitors.
Arn Anderson: I don’t think I’ve ever seen three men leave it all out there like that, Kevin. What a fight! Say what you want about Hangman’s attitude as of late, he just proved why he’s considered one of the biggest up and comers in this sport.
Kevin Kelly: This is what AEW is all about, Arn. Passion, skill, and heart. But Hangman Page stood tall tonight, and you have to wonder if we’re looking at the uncrowned World Heavyweight Champion!
In the ring, Kenny Omega slowly comes to, clutching his neck and ribs as Hangman’s music continues to play. Omega pulls himself to his feet, wincing but determined, locking eyes with Hangman.
The crowd quiets as the two former friends and tag team partners stand face-to-face. Omega takes a deep breath and extends his hand, offering a truce and a chance to rebuild their fractured bond. The tension in the arena reaches a fever pitch as the crowd urges Hangman to accept.
Hangman looks at the hand for a moment, his expression unreadable. The crowd begins to cheer as it seems he’s going to shake it—but suddenly, he smirks and points behind Omega.
Arn Anderson: Wait, what’s going on here?
Out of nowhere, the massive figure of Omos emerges from the crowd! The arena erupts in shock as the giant steps over the barricade and into the ring. Before Omega can react, Omos levels him with a devastating boot to the face, sending him crashing to the mat. The crowd boos furiously as Omos grabs Omega and ragdolls him into the corner, following up with a brutal running splash.
Kevin Kelly: That’s…that’s Omos! The giant Omos, AEW’s 2024 Draft Pick, has made his debut! But why now? And why here?”
Arn Anderson: It’s crystal clear, Kevin—he’s working with Hangman Page! This is a whole new low for the Hangman!
As Omega lies motionless in the ring, Omos picks him up effortlessly, hoisting him high in a two-handed choke slam and driving him into the mat with incredible force. The crowd rains down boos as Hangman, standing in the corner, bursts into laughter, clearly reveling in the destruction.
Kevin Kelly: This is despicable! Hangman Page has fallen completely to the dark side, and now he’s got this monster in his corner? Who can stop him?
With Omega completely outcold, Omos steps back and stands tall, towering over the fallen former champion. Hangman saunters over, crouches down near Omega’s lifeless body, and spits on him in disdain. The crowd is livid, chanting for Omega as Page smirks and signals to Omos to leave with him. The camera pans to Arn and Kevin, who are left speechless.
Arn Anderson: That was a message, Kevin. Not just to Kenny Omega, but to everyone in AEW. With Omos by his side, there might not be anyone who can stop Hangman Page.
Kevin Kelly: [disgusted] Hangman has sold his soul, Arn. And AEW just became a much more dangerous place.
The scene ends with Hangman raising his arms in victory as Omos stands ominously behind him, the camera focusing on Omega’s battered body in the ring.
SEGMENT FOUR
Back from commercial and the arena is electric as the ring has been converted for the Wedding of the Century! The ring is decorated extravagantly, with a towering cake, a pink velvet carpet, and an archway in gaudy, glittering lights.
A zany theme song hits, and The Mask bursts onto the stage, looking unbothered by the roadblocks he faced at the beginning of the night. He struts to the ring, twirling a cane and mugging for the camera. Sliding into the ring, he grabs a mic and begins hamming it up.
The Mask: Smokin’! Ladies and germs, this is the event you’ve been waiting for! Forget WrestleMania, forget Starrcade—this is the ultimate main event! Midget Hogan and Lady Love, tying the knot, right here under the holy banner of chaos, carnage, and matrimony! And let me tell ya, I’ll make sure it’s picture-perfect because if there’s one thing I know, it’s… SHENANIGANS!
He does a cartwheel, throwing confetti into the air as the crowd laughs and cheers.
The familiar nWo Wolfpac theme hits, and Kevin Nash and Scott Hall swagger to the ring, joined by Piper Niven and Nyla Rose, who look surprisingly elegant in bridesmaid dresses. Hall flips a toothpick toward the crowd as Nash makes a mock toast with an imaginary champagne glass.
They step into the ring, standing ready to support the bride and groom.
The unmistakable opening riff of Real American blasts, and the crowd pops as Hulk Hogan makes his way to the ring, donning a red and yellow tuxedo and sunglasses. Grabbing a mic, Hogan launches into a heartfelt yet hilariously rambling promo.
Hulk Hogan: Well let me tell ya something, brother! When Midget Hogan asked me to be his Best Man, I said, ‘Dude, you’re not just my best man—you’re my best friend!’ I’m honored, man, honored to be here tonight as he starts this new chapter, brother. And let me tell ya, as a gift from The Hulkster—I left the ‘Hogan Knows Best’ cameras at home, jack! This moment? It’s just for you two. No reality TV, no gimmicks—just love, dude!
He flexes dramatically as the crowd laughs and chants “HOGAN!”
Next, the opening chords of Foreigner’s “Waiting for a Girl Like You” hits, and the crowd erupts as Kimberly, aka the Pink Power Ranger, steps onto the stage. Making her first wrestling appearance since the early ’90s, she looks radiant in a sparkling pink gown. On commentary, Kevin Kelly jokes about The Mask trying to keep it together around his longtime crush. The Mask fans himself as Kimberly takes her place as the Maid of Honor.
Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic hits, and Midget Hogan struts down the aisle wearing wrestling tights, a tuxedo T-shirt, and his trademark bandana. He high-fives fans, then hugs Nash, Hall, and Hulk as he enters the ring, visibly excited but trying to play it cool.
The lights dim as an ominous voice booms over the speakers:
Voice: [offscreen] EARTH WILL BE MINE!
The crowd buzzes with anticipation as “I Know You Want Me” hits, and Lady Love makes her grand entrance, looking absolutely stunning in a gown so glittery it practically blinds the audience. She’s escorted by Lord Zed and his brother, Zed, who are clad in formal yet menacing armor. The commentary team explains how these two trained Lady Love and now serve as her symbolic family in her father’s absence.
With everyone in place, The Mask begins the ceremony in his trademark over-the-top style.
The Mask: We are gathered here today—well, mostly there because let’s face it, the cheap seats are packed—to unite these two larger-than-life individuals in holy matrimony! I mean, come on, folks, this is a match made in gimmick heaven! A Hogan and a Love! What’s next? A tag team called ‘The Honeymooners’?
He pulls out a kazoo and plays Here Comes the Bride off-key as the crowd laughs.
The Mask: Now, before we continue, I’m legally obligated to ask, does anyone here object to this union?
Suddenly, Kevin Kelly stands up from the commentary table, grabbing a microphone.
Kevin Kelly: I object!
Arn Anderson tries to calm Kevin down, telling him he has to let Lady Love go. Kelly says off-microphone that Anderson has it wrong, and he doesn’t understand.
Kevin Kelly: Midget Hogan, I implore you, stop this madness! Lady Love is going to ruin your life, and you’re going to regret this for the rest of your days! Look at what she’s done to Ric Venom, the once feared Big Show, to Sonjay Dutt and Saguna! Hell, look at what she did to me! I HAD TITS FOR A DECADE!
Midget Hogan glares at Kelly and takes the mic.
Midget Hogan: Listen here, Kelly. I’ve made my decision, and I’m in love, brother. With Lady Love by my side, you can call me Bruce Willis because I’ll certainly die hard!
The Mask grabs his clipboard and adjusts his oversized glasses dramatically. He stands between Midget Hogan and Lady Love, who are both beaming.
The Mask: Alrighty then! Let’s get to the good stuff. Midget Hogan, my vertically challenged friend, let me ask you this: Do you, the man with the bandana, the legend of the leg drop, the miniature Hulkster himself, promise to love, honor, and occasionally tag-team this beautiful, statuesque, two-time-larger-than-life goddess standing next to you? Through powerbombs and piledrivers, in victories and disqualifications, until death—or a bad booking decision—do you part?
Midget Hogan scratches his chin, looks up at Lady Love, and nods enthusiastically.
Midget Hogan: Brother, I do! I’ll body slam life with her by my side, dude!
The Mask: Of course you do, how could you not? A man your size doesn’t have many options. And now, Lady Love—the towering inferno of fabulousness, the Queen Kong of charisma, the glamazon of greatness—do you promise to love, honor, and never use your incredible reach to put this man on the top shelf where he can’t reach himself? Through moonsaults and chair shots, in main events and catering duty, until death—or an even worse booking decision—do you part?
Lady Love smirks, glances at the audience, then down at Midget Hogan.
Lady Love: Oh, I do! With everything in me, I do. Let’s just say what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for below the belt! I’m talkin’ about his dick, in case you’re wondering.
The Mask: Whoa! Okay, TMI, folks. That’s gross. Anyways, moving right along… by the power vested in me by absolutely no one and because, let’s be honest, who’s going to stop me—I now pronounce you husband and wife!
He dramatically steps aside, next to a visibly uncomfortable Kimberly as he sweeps his arm toward Midget Hogan and Lady Love.
The Mask: Midget Hogan, you may now kiss your bride!
As the couple leans in for their big moment, chaos erupts. The crowd roars as Rhea Ripley sprints down the ramp wielding Dom’s Gold Rush Ladder Match briefcase, fury in her eyes.
Arn Anderson: What the hell? This was supposed to be a wedding, not a war zone!
Ripley slides into the ring and swings the briefcase wildly, catching Piper Niven, the Knockouts Hardcore Champion, square in the head. Piper collapses, but Ripley isn’t done. With a feral scream, Ripley hauls Niven up and drives her into the wedding cake with a vicious Riptide, leaving frosting and debris everywhere.
Arn Anderson: She just destroyed the cake! And Piper Niven! Is nothing sacred?
Ripley goes for the cover, but before she can secure the victory, the wedding party swarms her. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall, along with Kimberly and Nyla Rose, pull Ripley out of the ring in a chaotic frenzy, leaving the ring in shambles.
As the dust settles, Midget Hogan surveys the scene and nods to Lady Love, who grins mischievously. Without hesitation, she drops down and covers the dazed Piper Niven.
The Mask: Oh, sure, what the hell, why not? [throwing himself to the mat] One, two, three! We’ve got a NEW Knockouts Hardcore Champion!
The crowd erupts as Lady Love leaps to her feet, the Knockouts Hardcore Championship now hers. She proudly lifts the title high, one hand on the belt and the other reaching down to hoist up Midget Hogan onto her shoulder.
The Mask: [wiping cake debris off his suit] As I was saying… you can kiss now!
With the crowd roaring, the couple shares an over-the-top, hilariously sloppy kiss, Midget Hogan’s bandana slipping off as Lady Love dips him dramatically. The fans cheer louder than ever as Lady Love struts around the ring, the championship on one shoulder and her new husband on the other, both beaming with pride.
Kevin Kelly: The Wedding of the Century just became the most chaotic title match in history!
Confetti rains down as Lady Love parades her new hardware and husband around the ring, basking in the wild adoration of the crowd. As the couple exits and the chaos seemingly comes to an end, Matt Riddle’s music hits!
The Chief of Vibes strolls down the ramp, passing Lady Love and Midget Hogan as they make their exit.
Matt Riddle: [climbing into the ring] Yo, Piper!
Piper Niven, still sprawled out in the corner and covered in remnants of the wedding cake, stirs and looks at him.
Matt Riddle: [grinning ear to ear] I know you wanted to keep this a secret, but I am inspired by the love we’ve just witnessed. So, I’ve been thinking bro… I’m tired of hiding it. I dig fat chicks! And I’m not embarrassed to say it!
The crowd explodes with laughter and cheers, chanting, “BRO! BRO! BRO!”
Kevin Kelly: What in the world is happening right now?!
Piper, still catching her breath, looks up at Riddle with an expression that’s a mix of flattery and sheer confusion. She slowly gets to her feet, frosting still clinging to her hair, as Riddle gives her a playful wink.
The crowd begins chanting, “THIS IS AWESOME!”, the laughter and cheers reaching a deafening level as the absurdity of the moment settles in.
Arn Anderson: This may be the most ridiculous and heartwarming wedding—and aftermath—in wrestling history!
The camera pans to a fan holding a sign that reads, “LOVE IS IN THE AIR (AND THE CAKE),” as Riddle gives Piper finger guns and shrugs with a goofy grin.
Matt Riddle: So, uh… what do you say, bro? Wanna make this official?
The crowd erupts into “YES! YES! YES!” chants as Piper stands there, still covered in cake, looking incredulous. She slowly steps forward, grabs Riddle by the vest, and pulls him into a full-on, over-the-top, hilarious makeout session right in the middle of the ring.
Kevin Kelly: Well, I guess that’s a yes!
As the kiss continues, Riddle tries to step it up. He wraps his arms around Piper’s waist and attempts to lift her up for a celebratory spin.
Arn Anderson: Riddle, don’t do it, son! You’re not built for that!
Sure enough, Riddle dramatically wobbles backward under Piper’s weight, and the two tumble to the mat in a comical heap. Piper lands right on top of him with an audible “OOF!”, as the crowd bursts into laughter.
Matt Riddle: [wheezing but laughing] Totally… worth it… bro!
Piper, now laughing herself, rolls off him and stands tall, raising her arms triumphantly. Riddle stays on the mat, flashing his signature goofy grin, giving the crowd a thumbs-up.
Kevin Kelly: Folks, I have no words. This is what happens when wrestling and romance collide!
The crowd chants “BRO! BRO! BRO!” as Riddle finally scrambles to his feet. He and Piper strike a ridiculous pose together in the center of the ring, their new “romance” cemented in the most chaotic wedding aftermath imaginable.
The camera pans to the audience, with one fan holding a sign reading, “FAT CHICKS FOR RIDDLE!”
Match #4 | No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere
Sami Zayn vs. Danhausen
The atmosphere is electric as Danhausen, with his eerie, unsettling entrance, takes to the ring. Sami Zayn enters next, looking unhinged, his months of paranoia and frustration bubbling to the surface. The bell rings, and Zayn immediately charges at Danhausen, unleashing a flurry of punches.
Kevin Kelly: For months, Danhausen has tortured Sami Zayn. He’s been consumed by paranoia, and tonight, he’s hoping to end the curse once and for all.
Arn Anderson: And the champion’s wasting no time in this non-title match. Danhausen’s curse has driven him over the edge, and now it’s time to see if he can finally put an end to this madness.
The two exchange stiff shots, with Zayn gaining the upper hand. He drags Danhausen outside the ring, whipping him into the steel steps. Zayn’s uncharacteristic aggression shocks the audience as he grabs a chair and begins pummeling Danhausen’s back.
The fight spills into the crowd, with Sami throwing Danhausen into rows of chairs. Fans scatter as Zayn yells at Danhausen, demanding to know how to break the curse. Danhausen, ever enigmatic, simply laughs, his painted face smeared with blood from Zayn’s assault.
Danhausen retaliates by grabbing a soda from a fan and smashing it into Zayn’s face, blinding him temporarily. He follows with a running knee strike, sending Zayn sprawling onto the arena stairs. The two brawl up the steps, trading vicious blows. Zayn gains control and delivers a suplex onto the hard concrete.
Kevin Kelly: We’ve been saying it for a while now, but Sami Zayn is completely unhinged. He’s unrelenting, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him this focused.
Arn Anderson: He’s trying to exorcise his demons, Kevin. But he’s up against the most unpredictable entity in wrestling!
The brawl returns to the ring area, where Zayn sets up a table. He hoists Danhausen onto the apron, looking to deliver a suplex through the table, but Danhausen counters with a low blow. With Zayn doubled over, Danhausen hits a diving DDT off the apron, driving Zayn through the table!
The crowd chants “HOLY SHIT” as both men lie in the wreckage. Slowly, Danhausen gets to his feet and rolls Zayn back into the ring. He grabs a jar and we see it’s full of teeth! He empties the jar of teeth onto the canvas. As he sets up for a teeth-filled suplex, Zayn counters and hits a brutal Blue Thunder Bomb onto the teeth!
Kevin Kelly: That has to be the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen, and I just sat through the wedding of Lady Love and Midget Hogan!
Zayn covers, but Danhausen kicks out at two. Zayn is beside himself with rage. He grabs a chair and begins swinging wildly, battering Danhausen across the back. He sets Danhausen up for the Helluva Kick, screaming, “This ends now!”
As Zayn charges, the lights go out.
When they return, The Boogeyman, The Harlem Turtles, and Molly Holly surround the ring, blocking the entrance ramp. Zayn freezes, his face a mix of fear and disbelief. Danhausen, bloodied but smiling, grabs a microphone.
Danhausen: [sinisterly] Even if you defeat me, it will not end, yes? This curse shall haunt you until you face the truth. Until you right your wrongs to your father-in-law! Run if you must, but you cannot escape your fate.
Zayn bolts out of the ring, but the ramp is cut off by the presence of Boogeyman, the Harlem Turtles, and Molly Holly. Zayn retreats through the audience once more, as Danhausen follows from a distant pace.
They brawl through the audience and make it to the backstage area. They slam each other into walls and equipment, Zayn throwing Danhausen into a stack of crates. Suddenly, the lights go out again.
Suddenly we hear a haunting, familiar tune.
“M-I-C… K-E-Y… M-O-U-S-E!!!”
When the lights return, Danhausen is gone. Sami, panicked, looks around desperately.
Arn Anderson: Where the hell is Danhausen? What’s going on?
Before Zayn can react further, The Executioner, looking in the best shape of his life, emerges from the shadows. He grabs Zayn by the throat and delivers a thunderous chokeslam onto a steel crate.
The Executioner looms over Zayn’s broken body, raising his arms in triumph. The camera zooms in on Zayn, bruised and bloodied, as the show fades to black with Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly’s stunned voices.
Kevin Kelly: Sami Zayn has been left in a heap! The Executioner is here, he’s promised to avenge Mickey Mouse! What does this mean for Zayn, and how does this tie to Danhausen’s curse?!
Arn Anderson: I don’t know, Kevin, but I’ll tell you one thing—Sami Zayn’s nightmare is far from over! Folks, we’re all out of time, we’ll be back on Thanksgiving Day hopefully with some answers! Thank you so much for joining us!
The screen fades to black as the eerie echo of Mickey Mouse’s song lingers in the background.
